I will have more details in a bit, but the game (1.0.679) crashed as soon as I opened the Workshop door after unlocking the pad. The game was loading the the sudden crash occurred, so I'm not sure if it was a missing file or a corrupted file, will have a terminal dump in a bit, along with system information, if I can recreate the problem.
Edit
Attached hpl.log, though I don't think it might be related to the previous crash. I'm having trouble with the dog getting me before I can reach to complete the next part... Guess will have to fight it (again) and try to defeat it (darn! fighting the dogs with the hammer is HARD!

)
